With that kind of power you if you drag race you could go with 21x12x8 skat trak haulers 9 or 10 paddle. With this size the sidewall is more flexible then a 10 inch rim, and when you pick up speed up the hill the tires will grow in diameter, creating more topend speed, plus the ride is less harsh then a 10inch rim.

If you want a all around paddle for drag racing, and playing in the berms, go with a, 20x10x10 10 paddle skat trak edge.

hope this helps

when you order from skat trak they do it,just ask and tell them what you want..

You have to get intouch with a speciality shop to get the tripple buffs,.

What exactly does it mean when you say a paddle is buffed? and what is triple buffing? What performance gain is there?

"Buffing" a tire is a procedure done before the paddle is glued on to the tire. The factory shaves excess meat off the top and sidewall of the tire to drop the rotating mass for the drag racers.

Id go with the 22x11x8 wheel with an 8 paddle. Maybe a 7 if you feel you dont have the power
